Organized as a series of fundamental questions that helped Tyrese redefine who he was as a human being, and evolve into a new man, How To Get Out of Your Own Way is a guide to helping yourself, using his experiences as a learning tool.

Tyrese will shock and amaze you with how he overcame the odds and became a superstar." --Rev Run "I've watched Tyrese for many years -- I've watched him succeed; I've watched him fail; I've seen him as a beneficiary of serendipity, and I've watched him suffer at his own hand. And in the recent years, as we've become friends, I've witnessed Tyrese Gibson learn how to get out of his own way." --Will Smith

As the world evolves, it seems that the definition of manhood is shifting drastically from the classical biblical model. There once was a time when we knew who a man was and what the expectations of manhood are. Many are not so sure today. In this book I define and explore the concept of manhood from a biblical and social perspective. The objective is to enlighten the minds and encourage the hearts of men. I further endeavor to empower the spirit of new generations of men with the wisdom and principles of manhood. When the man sees himself as a king, he will adjust his standards and behavior and take responsibility as he rises to his full potential.
